“on the plus side, it’s backward, violent and is growing moreso daily.”

Who wouldn’t want to endure that for $179 round trip?

He used “median” when playing shows for the upper intelligence half.

Kidding.

Nah, that dude deserves slower. Put him in a transparent glass box with 10,000 female mosquitos. Naked. A plain mattress. No bedding, no pillow, nothing to block or kill the mosquitos. Add more mosquitos every few weeks. Feed him well but he will be alive and otherwise healthy. unless of course he gets some of those mosquitos that will lay eggs under the skin or near orifices of their host, that would be a real shame.

His every waking moment will be torture.

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

Bah gawd it’s T-Mac’s music, he’s suiting up too along with Kwahi and VC!

Mare-wage is what bwings us together twoday!

Inconceivable.

Holy fucking shit what an absolute beast, no matter their sex. JFC

Hope they get thrashed with him so at least the embarrassment Trump and Fifia have brought on the US can end.

Meanwhile the airlines rolling out “free Starlink WiFi” without so much as an asterix about who provides and controls the bits you’re sending through it.

Imagine how much data musk will be able to glean getting free access to travelers internet habits and probably a lot more.

Studies show that hosting Olympics and WC are net costs to locations/countries that do so. This isn’t new and isn’t a surprise to anyone who did any research on it. It’s a glamor and showcase opportunity for cities or nations who decide to host it, mostly on ego, And with FIFA involved, it’s bound to be about as corrupt as fucking possible with bribes, payoffs, no-compete bids and all the rest.

Your officials let you get fleeced, as they weren’t up to the task of reviewing what they were committing to, congrats!

Did Palantir have its fingers in NHS yet?

“Proceed to emergency room unless skin pigment darker than X value or if against genocidal ethno-states, in which case your rights have been replaced with a dildo. Go fuck yourself.”

We do; we socialized the cost of private, off-limits care.

A $200 discretionary fine, that’ll teach 'em!

Was a bit of a head scratcher, I was reading Brown was irked he was included in Gianni’s potential talks, which is understandable as he’s carried the team during significant portions of Tatum’s absences. Bos definitely throwing in the towel on this core.

Still don’t know who legit contenders are in the east after this, NYK and Philadelphia? Mia is too empty to do anything even with Gianni’s unless they decide to seriously invest in this window, which TBF they are good about.

“not our responsibility, we’re just a booking portal” which is tenable as a start-up, but after a certain point, if you’re trying to build sustainable business and drive return business, you grow up and understand trust is a fundamental component of sustainable businesses.

1984/farenheit 451/Brave New World are the adolescent trilogy for me that anyone who wants to understand the nature of people and mechanics of power would do well to read.

I’d add Animal Farm to that as well.

Definitely a Dr. Evil headline. $1.3m? What is this 1992?

California: 80% of water use is agricultural and industrial but who do they lean on in drought years? Jimmy fucking John and minute showers. Corporations will not budge without force so state goes after the soft target.

Same play here.

“The company has also put a few extra locks on the payroll office. Employees can now access pay slips or update direct deposit details only from a corporate network or through a secure VPN, while Nissan adds extra identity checks before processing payroll requests.”

Time to close the barn door now that all the animals have escaped. I’m lucky enough not to have had to use PS much in my HR career but these are all common safeguards that any client let alone software provider can/should have enabled.
